MY STUFF GOT STOLEN!

Words can't seem to properly describe my level of rage at the moment, and I'm sure any one of my fellow blogging sisters may understand. The level of effort it takes to create a blog post is far higher than it seems, therefore, I reserve the right to remain ANGRY at the fact that my content got stolen! And copied on another blog! While earning them luuux points! PRETTY MUCH EARNING THEM FREE IPHONES AND CAMERAS AND CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTINS ON LUUUX. For the past six months!

This pathetic human being literally copied my blog posts, and pictures, and name, and city of orgin, and my FACE and pretended being me on their very own luuux account so they can earn points for "their" content. Their profile consisted of a photo of MY EYE as their profile picture, my name as their name, the city where I'm from, and also managed to gain a few followers while pretending to be me.

The sadder thing is, they've been so lazy that they literally took all of my blog posts, copied and pasted the content and photos to make a post of their own. Then taking complete credit for all the work. Here's proof:

Their complete profile... OH THAT EYE LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS TO SOMEONE WE KNOW....

So lazy that they didn't even bother changing the name of the titles! Oh, and the even more outragous thing they decided to do was take credit for more than just writing the posts and taking the photos. More proof:

Oh yeah, pretending like you made my nail polish rack too? Bitch, I remember making it all by myself. Oh, just as an FYI, get your time zones right. I'm never awake at 4:02 AM, ever.

I went on a spending ban for two months, and this is what they replied, FOR ME! I was the one who didn't spend! Stop pretending to be me! Last time I checked, I don't repeat my o's, a's, d's or p's. So no, I guess it's safe to say that's NOT how I type. It just infuriates me that this girl goes to such measures just to steal my stuff and use my name.

Girlfriend's first post dates back to February 5th! That's FIVE whole months plagarizing the crap out of my blog! Are you kidding me? I wouldn't have known if I wasn't googling MAC Warehouse Sale Hauls, and stumbled accross MY OWN pictures, WITHOUT me even knowing!

Females from Toronto, Ontario? A Gazillion. Named Erica Cho? Probably plenty. But shares the same face as me? Not possible unless my mom hid my identical twin away since birth. Speaks Vietnamese? I don't speak an ounce of anything other than English, Cantonese and a bit of French! IF YOU'RE GONNA IMPERSONATE ME, AT LEAST MAKE IT SOMEWHAT REAL!

I suspect Girlfriend's real name is Jade Nguyen. Probably because she kinda failed by including this on her profile URL? Please girl, just get your own content.

The point of this post is not to bash her or anything, but is to ask all my fellow sistas to help me and report her posts. You can understand how terrible it is for me and my personally written content to be stolen, taken credit for and profited by other people.

Please, go report her posts! I suspect she's been ripping off the content of other bloggers too because of her pages and pages of posts.

PS: This post may seem kind of out of character and mean of me, but I'm truly hurt because I work hard on my blog, and am heartbroken to see my hard work being plagarized. I never watermarked my photos because I didn't think anyone would steal my pictures, I'm unfortunately wrong.

I can understand why you are so upset over this and you have all right to be. I would contact this person if you haven't already and b!tch them out about it. I am sorry this is happening to you. Luxx is a breeding ground for this sort of thing it seems, people are desperate to get free stuff.

that pretty ridiculous- at least imitation is the most sincere form of flattery but that is just plain gross that she is trying to pretend she is you- "ahahaha yes i made it myself" yeah that is pretty low- why would you pretend to be someone your not?? you are her alter ego "ahahah" i have never seen someone like this. I have heard of people copying a post and even the pictures, but to pretend she actually is you is just crazy. now you have got me in a frenzy

That sucks. It's very frustrating when you encounter someone who plagiarizes your work and gets some sort of benefit for it. It's just another form of thievery... and, thankfully, you spotted it, so here's to hoping that you got something done about it.
